What is the Main Focus?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates the seaplane service between Kevadia and Sabarmati riverfront on October 31, 2020. This was the first seaplane route that was bid and handed out under the RCS-UDAN scheme. Getting an operational seaplane route requires lesser investment from the state compared to the airport. Getting to an airport can stuck in several legal cases also can face land acquisition issues and sometimes is at the mercy of the state government. Hence, the focus would be definitely on the seaplane services and heliports with a majority of urban cities covered.
Private companies and the government, on the other hand, should not lose sight of improving capacity at metro and big Tier-I airports. There is minimal, if any, traffic between any two Tier III airports, thus trade and business travelers will continue to travel to Tier I or metro airports.
Is it possible to build 100 new airports, seaports, and heliports in the next four years? Because the segment is currently relying primarily on the state-owned Pawan Hans, which has been up for privatization without success, the answer could well be No.
